At this stage Chrissy Teigen is nearly better known for her her food centric Instagram and culinary creations than she is as a model, whose storied career includes a stint as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. But that's not as strange a career transition as it may seem at first glance — Teigen is a culinary school grad who had plans to become a chef before the camera called. Next up is a cookbook, and FABLife, a nationally syndicated talk show premiering Monday, September 14. Not surprisingly, there will be lots of food segments, such as this one, where she hit the streets and challenged people to a hot pepper eating contest in “Take On Teigen.”
